The Effect of GSM Electromagnetic Field Exposure on the Waking Electroencephalogram: Methodological Influences
Dalecki A, Verrender A, · 2021
Alpha power increase was greater for eyes open than eyes closed during both low and high RF-EMF exposures, and showed a trend to be larger later in the high exposure.
Plain English Summary
Thirty-six adults participated in three experimental sessions with sham, low (1 W/kg), and high (2 W/kg) RF-EMF exposures. Resting EEG was recorded at baseline, during, and after exposure. Alpha power increase was greater for eyes open than eyes closed during both low and high exposures. There was also a trend for the increase to be larger at the end of the high exposure compared to the start.
Why This Matters
The study aimed to test whether the effect of RF-EMF on EEG alpha power depends on eyes open or closed conditions and on earlier versus later exposure periods. The authors suggest that using eyes closed conditions and insufficient exposure durations may explain why some studies fail to detect an alpha power increase.
